Camp Karuga — Hotel in West Jefferson

I didn't have any plan to stay in a primitive camp while going to enjoy the Merle Fest, a Bluegrass festival at Wilkesboro community College. But I didn't have much choice other than getting this place, since all the hotels were taken long before. And the weather was heavily rainy. I was little scared to go to the camp in the beginning. Once I went there and seeing Kathy, and her son Gavin, and getting there help and assurance, I was feeling secure. As time went by, I started to fall in love with the place. Little stream with sweet sound of flowing water, birds' chirping constantly, and beautiful scenery of Blue ridge mountains gave me serene comfort, which cannot be compared with anything. Kathy and her two sons are always present for any kind of help. Bathroom is very clean, and cabins are beautiful and clean. This place is a gem in Blue ridge mountains.

In fact the whole town was amazing. thanks to Kathy and her family for taking such good care of us. We...

We were there 2 weeks ago and enjoyed the grounds so much. Also the weather was beautiful! The cabin was nice and comfortable. It was fun to sleep on the loft.

There was plenty of hot water in the showers. I would recommend any family to go to Camp Karuga. About a mile away there is Blue Moutain Parkway that takes you to Blowing Rock there you can see the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. We...
